Where to buy Limewood for carving?

qbhod · 2014-07-17 23:39:09

Hi all, recently had a go at some basic carving and used a small chunk of Limewood and its like peeling butter. Anyone know where I might buy more of it? Thanks

I saw some small limewood blanks in the window of Richard Goughs, Little Mary Street, Dublin 1, at the weekend.
